   Echo
   the Roman version of the myth of Echo was written by Ovid who said Echo was a nymph assigned by Zeus to talk incessantly to Hera distracting her from Zeus amorous affairs with mortals and gods; Hera discovered the ruse and punished Echo by making her repeat what others said; Echo fell in love with the mortal Narcissus whose vanity caused him to stare at his reflection in a pool of water until he died; overcome with grief, Echo pined for her lost love and faded away leaving only her voice behind to echo the voices of others; the Greek version of the myth of Echo says that Echo was a musical nymph who could sing and play many instruments; her musical skills attracted the jealousy and hatred of many including the god Pan; Pan had his shepherds kill Echo and tear her apart scattering her pieces; the goddess Gaia (mother earth) took the pieces of Echo into her bosom; Echo's voice and talents were thus scattered all over the earth and that is why she is heard imitating sounds and voices in all corners of the world.
